Marriott Caribbean & Latin America Resorts Launches New ‘Worry-Free’ Weddings Program

Frenchman’s Reef & Morning Star Marriott Beach Resort

Travel Agent was on hand last week for the unveiling of a new “Worry-Free Weddings” program offered exclusively by Marriott Caribbean & Latin America Resorts. The new program aims to help couples remove the stress of planning a destination wedding.

The program, which launches April 1 at the collection of eight resorts located throughout the tropics, will play a pivotal role in a couple’s wedding process from the initial planning stages to their time in the destination and post-nuptials, with special offers and incentives for booking a wedding within the collection. 

“Worry-Free Weddings” also provides special activities to bring friends and family members closer together and entertained while in the destination. Specific offerings vary by property, however, key elements of the program include:

Special Booking Offer 

Providing a great added value for couples, a basic wedding ceremony will be offered complimentary when a minimum of 70 premium category room nights are booked. Details may vary by property. The Curacao resort is not included.

Nuptial Navigator

Couples can utilize a handy Nuptial Navigator – a detailed checklist/planning timeline distributed as part of the initial collateral exchange. It will include key planning action items and timelines, as well as important information to help navigate the destination itself, including tips on local customs, currency, time zone, electrical current, what to pack, points of interest, etc. 

Tailored Time Together 

The collection will help make sure that bringing together different families and friends is a fun experience for all. As a way for everyone to bond  (or break the ice), Tailored Time Together offers specially designed group excursions, team-building activities, and the opportunity to work together to help the local community through Marriott’s signature Spirit to Serve program. The program is designed to leave guests feeling closer than ever before.

No Guy Left Behind

While the wedding is usually known as the bride’s day, the collection hasn’t forgotten about the groom. No Guy Left Behind is a dedicated menu of activities designed for the groom and his friends. A range of complimentary and fee services are available, such as cigars, scotch/tequila tastings, flag football on the beach, grooming sessions at the spa/salon and more. 

Newlyweds Forever 

In addition to the above elements, couples who book their weddings at a resort within the collection will become eligible for the Newlyweds Forever Package, a special offer awarding a discount of 20 percent off leisure rates when visiting the same property or another resort in the collection. Couples have up to one year after their wedding day to book their next vacation. The Worry-Free Weddings program complements already great offerings for couples planning their nuptials in paradise, including:
